I'm sorry, but I've had the same experience after the installation of the official release of Lucid Puppy 5.1 on my hd.
After the installation-process has done (no .pets etc.) a message was shown with missing dependencies and the hint to write them on a sheet of paper to check it out later.
Don't laugh, but I have really done this:

As a resume I have to say, that Lucid Puppy is a really great release with impressing functionality, small size, speed and a well and hard working development team. I think, this famous work is not a result of a 'crusade' against bug-reporters - we can only give hints and report our experience with this release - or not, Micko?

No offense, I really like Puppy Linux. That's the reason, why I take the time to write this - now: GREETZ @all
So long -
* dragon-the-cat *

Ahem...

Slight misunderstanding with the quote.. however, if you had been through this thread you'd have found it's a known bug and the dependencies are not needed. You'd have not needed to take the time to write if you had have read. (Same can be said for me too I guess, but what I said in bold still stands).

Booted my desktop to Quirky 1.2. Network and CUPS working fine although the ATI video doesn't agree with the Radeon driver. My little netbook running 5.1 still will not automatically find the shared printer.

All else seems well with the machines, Luci seems stable and happy in both boxes. I had a terrible time getting the wireless up with this last install but sheer stubborn cussed perseverance seems to have done it, it's now stable and persistent.

Did you set up the firewall when you installed Puppy on both PCs?
It will interfere with printer sharing.
Also, make sure you have the "Share this printer box checked as will as network sharing of the printer.

No, same host computer booted to 5.1 will not allow automatic printer finding and sharing. Nobody has a firewall going including the router. All settings seem to be in order unless there's one I missed, as far as I know I need to set the server to share printers and the printer itself to be shared. The manual installation seems to work just fine although I haven't tried printing from Open Office just yet. It was a pain to set up, though, I can't imagine a newbie handling it, it was a stretch of my abilities and I've been using Linux in one form or another for 10 years. I must say it's much more user-friendly now, largely of course due to the efforts of Barry Kauler and the Puppy people.
I wonder if we can find some common thing that differentiates those systems that will automatically share printers Luci51 to Luci51 and those that won't? My host is a 5-year-old Dell P4, Ralink wireless LAN, and my remote is a new Toshiba Celeron-base with Realtek 8187SE with NDISwrapper driver. Could that be the problem? The Linux driver immediately freezes this system on first access. Router is a Belkin G wireless.
The other major question is "is it worth the trouble?" How many other people are having this problem? If I'm the only one I have it solved for myself. If someone else has similar trouble, pipe up--the squeaky wheel gets the grease!

If you discover that it is something unique to your system you could get a Netgear 3500L wireless router -- it will allow you to network a printer or a HDD and it is open source friendly._________________Thanks! DavidHome page: http://nevils-station.comDon't googleSearch!http://duckduckgo.com

Probably not.

But if you want to beat this episode to death, there is one more thing you can try. Install CUPS 1.3.11 in Lupu over top of its CUPS 1.4.3 as described here. That would determine if the problem is CUPS-related or Puppy-related.

As usual, you would need to do this off the Lupu Live CD using the "puppy pfix=ram" option so as not to damage your current install.

I just looked here and did not find it:
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/quirky/pet_packages-quirky/

You are saying that when I do locate it I may load the PET and then run the remove-builtins app and that removing abiword will be complete and not harm my Lucid 5.1 Frugal install at all?

Other than maybe some default word processor link may be broken and I will need to change it to OpenOffice or Geany.

Or am I missing a step ... you referred to remastering ... is remove-builtins just one step to alter the distro and then one has to remaster *before* one is able to resume using Lucid 5.1 (or Quirky)?_________________Thanks!
